"Death by hlB own hand,” was the verdict of the coroner’s Jury which held an Inqueet over the body of Cap. tain W. C. Nunemacher, who was found dead Monday morning In the basement of the Blosser Printing Company, on Walton street, where he had been em ployed as superintendent. ' • From the evidence Introduced at the Inquest It was plainly a case of suicide. The only mystery which now surrounds the tragic death of the well-known Atlantan Is the motive for the deed. It was stated at the Inquest that Captain Nunemacher had been In 111 health. A box of pills was found in his clothes. He had suffered with a severe cold for several weeks. It was also stated that he had been In ilnancla! straits, although It Is known that he had made arrangements to cancel the debt, which had made him most de spondent. Further than this, the deceased had never fully recovered from the death of his wife, which occurred about two yearB ago. Hs had been devoted to her and her demise had always been a source of profound grief on his part. Short funeral services were held on Monday evening about 6:24 o'clock In the chapel of Barclay A Brandon. Military Escort. At 11:50 o’clock Monday evening the body was taken to the train, escorted by a company of the state military, the Atlanta Zouaves, under the command of Captain Catron. Captain Nune macher had been quartermaster of the Fifth regiment for a number of years and was widely esteemed as a military officer. William Wilson, who has charge of the Atlanta branch of the F. C. Nune macher Company, of Louisville, accom panied the body to Louisville, the old home of the deceased, and the present home of his family, where the Inter ment took place. !

WAS A SCHOOLMATE OF REV, SAM P, JONES "The story printed In' one of the papers that Sam Jones was a dull boy at school Is a pure exaggeration,” said B. M. Blackburn Tuesday morning. "I was In school with him at Euhar- lee, under ProMssor Ronald Johnson. Mr. Jones was some ten years my elder, but X shall never forget how he shield ed and protected the smaller and weak er boys from the older ones that had a tendency to bully. "When I was there with him he was about 24 years of age, and considered the brightest Latin scholar In the school. He was a big, hearty boy, with normal habits. He was so quick at his books that it was not necessary for him to study as hard as others not so well equipped mentally. [ was a frail little fellow, having been weakened by fever, and Mr, Jones used to take me on his back home from the Institute. He was a favorite In the school, and, as I have stated, a pro tector for tiie younger lads. A won derful man has passed away."
